[JD Townsend]

The annual fee is $5.00 - imagine 365.25 days of membership for less than 2 
cents a day!

Sorry, there are no discounts at this time (smile).

JD,
Beautifully written. I know I am putting a check in the mail to you right 
now. One question, what did we finally decide on dues? How much should this 
check be? Any incentive for multiple year membership? Let me know so that I 
can renew my membership.
Anticipating your reply,
Mary Tatum Chappell, Psy.D.

Welcome Fellow Therapists & Other Human Service Workers:



We are the NFB Human Services Division, a place for advocacy & fellowship 
for all of us in, or contemplating being in, any of the many professions 
that can be grouped as human services.  We have Social Workers, Mental 
Health Counselors & other mental health professionals, Occupational, Speech, 
& Physical Therapists, Massage, Music & Recreational Therapists, as well as 
other specialties, such as Genetics Counselors & Dieticians.  We encompass a 
lot of territory!



Our membership and Board of Directors include students & employed 
professionals with decades of experience.  We are currently advocating for 
issues related to full access to licensure testing and that troubling line 
in many job descriptions, “Driver’s License Required.”  Our Board Meetings 
are by ‘phone and are open to all.



Our email list offers a good place to help others with suggestions and 
encouragement, or to ask for assistance.



It can be a struggle being blind in a sighted world, for instance with 
computer-based or electronic record keeping.  The NFB is helping to make 
this easier, currently working to ensure that all Electronic Medical Records 
are screen reader friendly;  an uphill battle that the Human Services 
Division is championing.



You are a special person, desiring to help others.  Few things change what 
it means to be blind more than helping light dependent persons to solve 
their human needs.  Let’s do it together.



Joining the Division is easy and cheap.  It currently costs only $5.00 a 
year!  We need your help to strengthen our call for the changes noted above.



To join today, just send a check to me, Treasurer and Membership Committee 
Chair:

            JD TOWNSEND

            1598 Riverside Drive

            Holly Hill   FL   32117

Just add your name, email and address in print or braille and you can be a 
part of a positively focused group of human service professionals.



Let’s all be a part of change.





Yours,



JD TOWNSEND, TREASURER

NFB HUMAN SERVICES DIVISION
